1970s Adidas Rod Laver trainers reissued

Laver

Not the most regular reissue on the Adidas roster, the Adidas Rod Laver trainers have been reissued just in time for Wimbledon.

From that (and the name), you'll have gathered that this was a tennis shoe when it landed in 1970, returning here in an appropriate white with green, as well as with a mesh upper, suede toe box, contrasting vulcanised sole and classic branding.

Limited edition, £55 is the price.

A is for Artist wallpaper by Ella Doran

Letterpress insitu 2 for web

Ella Doran is a designer well known for her use of the photographic image. So it's perhaps surprising that her latest product – A is for Artist wallpaper – celebrates the art of block and letterpress printing.

The wallpaper is covered with a design showing vintage printers trays. It's digitally printed onto the paper, making for an interesting and unusual wallpaper. 

The paper costs £150 per 10 metre roll.

Wonderful Copenhagen Poster

Wonderful-copenhagen-andemor 
Since we are big fans of Danish design, it seems rather remiss that we have never mentioned this classic poster design, Wonderful Copenhagen.

The poster was created in 1959 by Viggo Vagnby and is based upon a famous photograph of an incident from the same year where a policeman stopped the traffic to allow a family of ducks to cross the road in Frederiksberg. Although a popular image at the time, the poster fell out of favour and in1985 it was used as wrapping paper to protect a shipment of prints being entered into a competition in England, but by happy mistake, was entered into the competition which it won. The poster is now rightfully restored to its place as a classic and can be seen in the Danish Museum of Art & Design.

You can buy your own print of it from Posterland for 18.5 Euros.

Pin Up Jeans by Cooperative

Pinupjeans

The perfect pair of capri pants can be all you need to create an effortless pin up inspired look, but they're often hard to track down on the high street. These classically styled Pin Up Jeans by Cooperative are now available at Urban Outfitters, offering an unmistakeably fifties inspired look.

The use of denim is unusual but effective, with a light pastel blue shade tying in with the pin up aesthetic. With a high waistline and matelot buttons at the hip, the detailing is minimal enough to create a figure hugging pair that you can wear regularly.

They're now available from Urban Outfitters UK for £55.

Tulip Dishcloth from Klippan

01 
We frequently feature tea towels on this site, but dish clothes are a little bit rarer (probably with good reason). This Tulip Dishcloth from Klippan is possibly only the fourth such item we’ve featured.

The retro tulip design was created by Lotta Glave (one half of the Swedish design team Bengt & Lotta). It is available in a choice of colours, either shades of blue or red/yellow/green. Each dish cloth costs £2.44, which is undoubtedly more than you’d pay for a normal pack of cloths, but cheap enough if you want to add that final finishing touch to a totally retro kitchen.

Buy them from the Scandinavian Design Center.
